If enough publications call him President Musk enough, Trump might kick him out.

he's in too deep. he'll double down, then double down again. no way is donald j. trump, president of the united states of america, stopping this implosion. trump hasn't got the balls to, nor the power left to do it. he's literally not man enough to stop the manchild dipshit.

Early last year, there were reports that the RNC was nearly broke. Gathering the money to have a convention was going to be difficult.

Musk and his Silicon Valley friends jumped in. They are expecting a return on that investment. Trump couldn't stop them if he wanted to. It's to the point that whatever blackmail Putin has on Trump is secondary.

I'm fairly certain musk has the power in the relationship.

There's only one lie that Trump cares about protecting and it isn't pee tapes. Its net worth.
